FIELD

The present invention generally relates to compounds having activity as inhibitors of MAP kinase interacting kinase (Mnk), as well as to related compositions and methods containing or utilizing the same. Such compounds find utility in any number of therapeutic applications, including the treatment of cancer.

BACKGROUND

Eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is a general translation factor, but it has the potential to enhance preferentially the translation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) that lead to production of malignancy-associated proteins. This selectivity may relate to an increased requirement for eIF4E and its binding partners for the translation of mRNAs containing extensive secondary structure in their 5′-untranslated regions (5′-UTRs). These mRNAs include those encoding certain proteins that control cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis. Under normal cellular conditions the translation of these malignancy-associated mRNAs is suppressed as the availability of active eIF4E is limited; however, their levels can increase when eIF4E is over-expressed or hyperactivated. Elevated levels of eIF4E have been found in many types of tumors and cancer cell lines including cancers of the colon, breast, bladder, lung, prostate, gastrointestinal tract, head and neck, Hodgkin's lymphomas and neuroblastomas.

Initiation of cap-dependent translation is thought to depend on the assembly of eIF4F, an initiation factor complex including eIF4E, the scaffold protein eIF4G, and the RNA helicase eIF4A. Because eIF4E is the only one of these proteins that binds directly to the mRNA cap structure, it is the key factor for the assembly of eIF4F at the 5′ cap. The scaffold protein, eIF4G, also recruits the 40S ribosomal subunit to the mRNA via its interaction with eIF3 and binds eIF4B, a protein that aids the RNA-helicase function of eIF4A, thus facilitating the translation of mRNAs that contain structured 5′-UTRs. The availability of eIF4E as part of the eIF4F complex is a limiting factor in controlling the rate of translation, and therefore eIF4E is an important regulator of mRNA translation.

Regulation of eIF4E activity forms a node of convergence of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Ras/Raf/MAPK signaling pathways. The PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)/PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten)/Akt/mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway is often involved in tumorgenesis and in sensitivity and resistance to cancer therapy. Deregulated signaling through the PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR pathway is often the result of genetic alterations in critical components of this pathway and/or mutations at upstream growth factor receptors or signaling components. PI3K initiates a cascade of events when activated by, for example, extracellular growth factors, mitogens, cytokines and/or receptors, PDK1 activates Akt, which in turn phosphorylates and inactivates the tumor suppressor complex comprising TSC1 and 2 (tuberous sclerosis complex 1/2), resulting in the activation of mTORC1 (target of rapamycin complex 1) by Rheb-GTP. Activation of PDK1 and Akt by PI3Ks is negatively regulated by PTEN.

PTEN is a critical tumor suppressor gene and is often mutated or silenced in human cancers. Its loss results in activation of Akt and increases downstream mTORC1 signaling. The involvement of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) in neoplastic transformation appears to depend on its regulatory role toward the eIF4F complex; overexpression of eIF4E can confer resistance to rapamycin. mTORC1 regulates the eIF4F complex assembly that is critical for the translation of mRNAs associated with cell growth, prevention of apoptosis and transformation. mTORC1 achieves this by phosphorylation and inactivation of 4E-BPs and the subsequent dissociation of 4E-BPs from eIF4E. This then enables eIF4E to interact with the scaffold protein eIF4G, permitting assembly of the eIF4F complex for the translation of structured mRNAs. mTORC1 also promotes activation of the translational activator, S6K, which phosphorylates the ribosomal protein S6 and other substrates, including eIF4B. mTORC1 signaling is inhibited by rapamycin and its analogues (rapalogs), although these compounds act allosterically, rather than directly inhibiting mTOR kinase activity.

Given the importance of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in regulating mRNA translation of genes that encode for pro-oncogenic proteins and activated mTORC1 signaling in a high proportion of cancers, these kinases have been actively pursued as oncology drug targets. A number of pharmacological inhibitors have been identified, some of which have reached advanced clinical stages. However, it has recently become clear that the mTOR pathway participates in a complicated feedback loop that can impair activation of Akt. It has been shown that prolonged treatment of cancer cells or patients with mTOR inhibitors causes elevated PI3K activity that leads to phosphorylation of Akt and eIF4E, and promotes cancer cell survival. eIF4E, acting downstream of Akt and mTOR, recapitulates Akt's action in tumorigenesis and drug resistance, and Akt signaling via eIF4E is an important mechanism of oncogenesis and drug resistance in vivo.

In addition to the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, eIF4E is also the target of the Ras/Raf/MAP signaling cascade which is activated by growth factors and for the stress-activated p38 MAP kinase pathway. Erk1/2 and p38 then phosphorylate MAP kinase-interacting kinase 1 (Mnk1) and MAP kinase-interacting kinase 2 (Mnk2). The Erk pathway is also activated in many cancers, reflecting, for example, activating mutations in Ras (found in around 20% of tumors) or loss of function of the Ras GTPase-activator protein NF1. Mnk1 and Mnk2 are threonine/serine protein kinases and specifically phosphorylate serine 209 (Ser209) of eIF4E within the eIF4F complex, by virtue of the interaction between eIF4E and the Mnks, which serves to recruit Mnks to act on eIF4E. Mice with mutated eIF4E, in which Ser209 is replaced by alanine, show no eIF4E phosphorylation and significantly attenuated tumor growth. Significantly, while Mnk activity is necessary for eIF4E-mediated oncogenic transformation, it is dispensable for normal development. Pharmacologically inhibiting Mnks thus presents an attractive therapeutic strategy for cancer.

Despite increased understanding of Mnk structure and function, little progress has been made with regard to the discovery of pharmacological Mnk inhibitors and relatively few Mnk inhibitors have been reported: CGP052088 (Tschopp et al., Mol Cell Biol Res Commun. 3(4):205-211, 2000); CGP57380 (Rowlett et al., Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 294(2):G452-459, 2008); and Cercosporamide (Konicek et al., Cancer Res. 71(5):1849-1857, 2011). These compounds, however, have mainly been used for the purpose of Mnk target validation. More recently, investigators have proposed further compounds for treating diseases influenced by the inhibition of kinase activity of Mnk1 and/or Mnk2, including, for example, the compounds disclosed in WO 2014/044691 and the various patent documents cited therein and the 4-(dihydropyridinon-3-yl)amino-5-methylthieno[2,3,-d]pyrimidines disclosed by Yu et al., European Journal of Med. Chem., 95: 116-126, 2015.

Accordingly, while advances have been made in this field there remains a significant need in the art for compounds that specifically inhibit Mnk kinase activity, particularly with regard to Mnk's role in regulation of cancer pathways, as well as for associated composition and methods. The present invention fulfills this need and provides further related advantages.

The compound of the invention can exist in various isomeric forms, as well as in one or more tautomeric forms, including both single tautomers and mixtures of tautomers. The term “isomer” is intended to encompass all isomeric forms of a compound of this invention, including tautomeric forms of the compound.

Some compounds described here can have asymmetric centers and therefore exist in different enantiomeric and diastereomeric forms. A compound of the invention can be in the form of an optical isomer or a diastereomer. Accordingly, the invention encompasses compounds of the invention and their uses as described herein in the form of their optical isomers, diastereoisomers and mixtures thereof, including a racemic mixture. Optical isomers of the compounds of the invention can be obtained by known techniques such as asymmetric synthesis, chiral chromatography, or via chemical separation of stereoisomers through the employment of optically active resolving agents.

Unless otherwise indicated, “stereoisomer” means one stereoisomer of a compound that is substantially free of other stereoisomers of that compound. Thus, a stereomerically pure compound having one chiral center will be substantially free of the opposite enantiomer of the compound. A stereomerically pure compound having two chiral centers will be substantially free of other diastereomers of the compound. A typical stereomerically pure compound comprises greater than about 80% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 20% by weight of other stereoisomers of the compound, for example greater than about 90% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 10% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, or greater than about 95% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 5% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, or greater than about 97% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 3% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound.

If there is a discrepancy between a depicted structure and a name given to that structure, then the depicted structure controls. Additionally, if the stereochemistry of a structure or a portion of a structure is not indicated with, for example, bold or dashed lines, the structure or portion of the structure is to be interpreted as encompassing all stereoisomers of it. In some cases, however, where more than one chiral center exists, the structures and names may be represented as single enantiomers to help describe the relative stereochemistry. Those skilled in the art of organic synthesis will know if the compounds are prepared as single enantiomers from the methods used to prepare them.

For compounds according to Formulae IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa and IVb, variables W¹ and W² are both oxo. In certain embodiments for compounds according to Formulae IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa and IVb, W¹ is oxo and W² is thione group. According to one embodiment, Formulae IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa and IVb compounds comprise an oxo at W¹ and a=N—OR′ group at W².

For Formulae IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa and IVb compounds, each of substituents R² and R³ can be the same in which case the carbon atom which R² and R³ are attached is not a chiral carbon. In certain embodiments, however, substituents R² and R³ are different. Thus, the carbon atom which R² and R³ are attached is chiral and the resulting compound will have stereoisomers.

In an embodiment of the invention, each R² and R³ in Formulae IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa and IVb is hydrogen. Alternatively, one of R² or R³ groups in Formulae IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa and IVb is hydrogen and the other group is alkyl optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 J groups.

Such compounds conform to Formula Vb and the cycloalkyl or heterocyclyl ring “A” may optionally be substituted with 1, 2 or 3 J groups. When “Y” is —CHR⁹— in Formula Vb, substituent R⁹ is either hydrogen, lower alkyl or hydroxy.

The present invention is further directed to Formulae I, Ia, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, and Vb compounds where substituent groups R⁶ and R⁸ are both hydrogen, and R₇ is selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, halogen, cyano, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl cycloalkylalkylene, cycloalkylalkenylene, amino, alkylaminyl, alkylcarbonylaminyl, cycloalkylcarbonylaminyl, cycloalkylaminyl, heterocyclylaminyl, heteroaryl, and heterocyclyl. For these inventive compounds any alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkylene, cycloalkylalkenylene, amino, alkylaminyl, alkylcarbonylaminyl, cycloalkylcarbonylaminyl, cycloalkylaminyl, heterocyclylaminyl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclyl is optionally substituted with 1, 2 or 3 J groups.

For such compounds any alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkylene, cycloalkylalkenylene, amino, alkylaminyl, alklycarbonylaminyl, cycloalkylcarbonylaminyl, heterocyclylaminyl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl or cycloalkylaminyl may optionally be substituted with 1, 2 or 3 J groups. Thus, the invention provides Formulae I, Ia, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, and Vb compounds where substituent groups R⁶ and R⁸ are both hydrogen, and R₇ is amino; substituent groups R⁶ and R are both hydrogen, and R₇ is alkylaminyl; substituent groups R⁶ and R⁸ are both hydrogen, and R₇ is —NHCH₃; substituent groups R⁶ and R⁸ are both hydrogen, and R₇ is cycloalkyl, for example cyclopropyl; substituent groups R⁶ and R⁸ are both hydrogen, and R₇ is cycloalkylaminyl substituted with 1 to 3 J groups, for instance halogens.

In one embodiment, for compounds in accordance with Formulae I, Ia, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, and Vb, substituent groups R⁶ and R⁸ are both hydrogen, and R₇ is selected from the group consisting of —NHCH(CF₃)cyclopropyl, cycloalkylcarbonylaminyl, —NHC(O)cyclopropyl, cycloalkylalkenylene, and —CH═CHcyclopropyl.

For any compound in accordance with Formulae I, Ia, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, Vb, VI, VIIa, and VIIb, J is —SH, —SR⁹, —S(O)R⁹, —S(O)₂R⁹, —S(O)NH₂, —S(O)NR⁹R⁹, —NH₂, —NR⁹R⁹, —COOH, —C(O)OR⁹, —C(O)R⁹, —C(O)—NH₂, —C(O)—NR⁹R⁹, hydroxy, cyano, halogen, acetyl, alkyl, lower alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, thioalkyl, cyanoalkylene, alkylaminyl, NH₂—C(O)-alkylene, NR⁹R⁹—C(O)-alkylene, —CHR⁹—C(O)-lower alkyl, —C(O)-lower alkyl, alkylcarbonylaminyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkylene, cycloalkylalkenylene, cycloalkylcarbonylaminyl, cycloalkylaminyl, —CHR⁹—C(O)-cycloalkyl, —C(O)-cycloalkyl, —CHR⁹—C(O)-aryl, —CHR⁹-aryl, —C(O)-aryl, —CHR⁹—C(O)-heterocycloalkyl, —C(O)-heterocycloalkyl, heterocyclylaminyl, or heterocyclyl and R⁹ is hydrogen, lower alkyl or —OH. Additionally, when two J groups bound to the same carbon or hetero atom they may be taken together to form oxo.

For certain compounds according to Formulae I, Ia, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIb, IVa, IVb, Va, Vb, VI, VIIa, and VIIb, J is halogen, hydroxy, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl or cyanoalkylene. Illustrative alkyl or alkylene chains are those having C₁-C₁₀ carbon atoms, C₁-C₈ carbon atoms, C₁-C₆ carbon atoms, C₁-C₄ carbon atoms, C₁-C₃ carbon atoms as well as ethyl and methyl groups. Alternatively, when J is alkenyl, or alkynyl, the carbon chain has at least one double or triple bond respectively and C₂-C₁₀ carbon atoms, C₂-C₈ carbon atoms, C₂-C₆ carbon atoms, C₂-C₄ carbon atoms, or C₂-C₃ carbon atoms.

The inventive compounds according to Formula I, as well as Formulae Ia, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, Vb VI, VIIa and VIIb may be isotopically-labelled by having one or more atoms replaced by an atom having a different atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of according to Formula I include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine, or iodine. Illustrative of such isotopes are ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ⁸F, ³⁶Cl, ¹²³I, and ¹²⁵I, respectively. These radiolabelled compounds can be used to measure the biodistribution, tissue concentration and the kinetics of transport and excretion from biological tissues including a subject to which such a labelled compound is administered. Labeled compounds are also used to determine therapeutic effectiveness, the site or mode of action, and the binding affinity of a candidate therapeutic to a pharmacologically important target. Certain radioactive-labelled compounds according to Formula I, therefore, are useful in drug and/or tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e. ³H, and carbon-14, i.e. ¹⁴C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection.

Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e. ²H, affords certain therapeutic advantages resulting from the greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life of compounds containing deuterium. Substitution of hydrogen with deuterium may reduce dose required for therapeutic effect, and hence may be preferred in a discovery or clinical setting.

Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ⁵O and ¹³N, provides labeled analogs of the inventive compounds that are useful in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies, e.g., for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds according to Formula I, as well as Formulae Ia, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, Vb VI, VIIa and VIIb can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Preparations and Examples section as set out below using an appropriate isotopic-labeling reagent.

Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein are also meant to encompass the in vivo metabolic products of compounds according to Formulae I, Ia, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, Vb VI, VIIa and VIIb. Such products may result from, for example, the oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, esterification, and like processes primarily due to enzymatic activity upon administration of a compound of the invention. Accordingly, the invention includes compounds that are produced as by-products of enzymatic or non-enzymatic activity on an inventive compound following the administration of such a compound to a mammal for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product. Metabolic products, particularly pharmaceutically active metabolites are typically identified by administering a radiolabelled compound of the invention in a detectable dose to a subject, such as rat, mouse, guinea pig, monkey, or human, for a sufficient period of time during which metabolism occurs, and isolating the metabolic products from urine, blood or other biological samples that are obtained from the subject receiving the radiolabelled compound.

The invention also provides pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms of Formulae I, Ia, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, Vb VI, VIIa and VIIb compounds. Encompassed within the scope of the invention are both acid and base addition salts that are formed by contacting a pharmaceutically suitable acid or a pharmaceutically suitable base with a compound of the invention.

To this end, a “pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt” refers to those salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free bases, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable, and which are formed with inorganic acids such as, but are not limited to, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like, and organic acids such as, but not limited to, acetic acid, 2,2-dichloroacetic acid, adipic acid, alginic acid, ascorbic acid, aspartic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, 4-acetamidobenzoic acid, camphoric acid, camphor-10-sulfonic acid, capric acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, carbonic acid, cinnamic acid, citric acid, cyclamic acid, dodecylsulfuric acid, ethane-1,2-disulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, formic acid, fumaric acid, galactaric acid, gentisic acid, glucoheptonic acid, gluconic acid, glucuronic acid, glutamic acid, glutaric acid, 2-oxo-glutaric acid, glycerophosphoric acid, glycolic acid, hippuric acid, isobutyric acid, lactic acid, lactobionic acid, lauric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, mucic acid, naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid, naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, nicotinic acid, oleic acid, orotic acid, oxalic acid, palmitic acid, pamoic acid, propionic acid, pyroglutamic acid, pyruvic acid, salicylic acid, 4-aminosalicylic acid, sebacic acid, stearic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, thiocyanic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, undecylenic acid, and the like.

Similarly, a “pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt” refers to those salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free acids, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. These salts are prepared by addition of an inorganic base or an organic base to the free acid. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, but are not limited to, the sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum salts and the like. Preferred inorganic salts are the ammonium, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium salts. Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange resins, such as ammonia, isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, diethanolamine, ethanolamine, deanol, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, 2-diethylaminoethanol, dicyclohexylamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, caffeine, procaine, hydrabamine, choline, betaine, benethamine, benzathine, ethylenediamine, glucosamine, methylglucamine, theobromine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, purines, piperazine, piperidine, N-ethylpiperidine, polyamine resins and the like. Particularly preferred organic bases are isopropylamine, diethylamine, ethanolamine, trimethylamine, dicyclohexylamine, choline and caffeine.

Often crystallizations produce a solvate of the compound of the invention. As used herein, the term “solvate” refers to an aggregate that comprises one or more molecules of a compound of the invention with one or more molecules of solvent. The solvent may be water, in which case the solvate may be a hydrate. Alternatively, the solvent may be an organic solvent. Thus, the compounds of the present invention may exist as a hydrate, including a monohydrate, dihydrate, hemihydrate, sesquihydrate, trihydrate, tetrahydrate and the like, as well as the corresponding solvated forms. The compounds of the invention may be true solvates, while in other cases, the compounds of the invention may merely retain adventitious water or be a mixture of water plus some adventitious solvent.

A “stereoisomer” refers to a compound made up of the same atoms bonded by the same bonds but having different three-dimensional structures, which are not interchangeable. The present invention contemplates various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof and includes “enantiomers”, which refers to two stereoisomers whose molecules are nonsuperimposeable mirror images of one another.

Compounds of the invention, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts may contain one or more asymmetric centers and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)- or, as (D)- or (L)-for amino acids. The present invention is meant to include all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (+) and (−), (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques, for example, chromatography and fractional crystallization. Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate (or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included.

The term “tautomer” refers to a proton shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule. For example, when W¹ is oxo and R¹ is H, the present invention provides tautomers of a Formula I compound as illustrated below:

Similar tautomers exists for Formulae I, Ia, IIa, IIb, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, Va, Vb VI, VIIa and VIIb compounds. The inventive compounds are synthesized using conventional synthetic methods, and more specifically using the general methods noted below. Specific synthetic protocols for several compounds in accordance with the present invention are described in the Examples.

General Synthetic Methods Method 1:

Formation of IXa, when n=1 and X=halogen or other leaving group, such as —OTf, —OTs or -OMs, was accomplished by exposing intermediate VIIIa to an aldehyde or ketone Xa, or an aldehyde or ketone equivalent Xb-d under acidic conditions where R²-R³ are as previously defined and R^(m)═H, CH₃, CH₂CH₃, or alkyl. More specifically, exposing VIIIa where X is Cl or Br to an aldehyde or ketone Xa in 1,4-dioxane and concentrated sulfuric acid with heating yields intermediated IXa (n=1).

Pyrimidine-type compounds according to Formula XIIa or XIIb where Y is N(R⁵), O, or S and P is a protecting group can be purchased or prepared from XIa by various methods, for example, by displacing the leaving group X of compound XIa with an appropriate N, O, or S nucleophile. The resulting compound XIIb can be deprotected to give XIIa.

Inventive compounds according to Formula I when Y is N(R⁵), O, or S were synthesized by contacting intermediate IXa with a pyrimidine compound XIIa where R⁶—R⁸ are as previously defined, under appropriate reaction conditions as further described below.

More specifically, Formula I compounds when Y is N(R⁵), O, or S were synthesized using Buchwald-Hartwig coupling, Ullmann-type coupling, or nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Thus, contacting intermediate IXa where ×=Cl or Br and n=1 with a compound of Formula XIIa where Y is N(R⁵), O, or S under conditions suitable for coupling, or nucleophilic aromatic substitution gave Formula I compounds.

Alternatively, the leaving group X of intermediate IXa may be displaced with an appropriate N, O, or S nucleophile under conditions similar to those described above for synthesis of XIIa so as to afford intermediate XIIIa or protected intermediate XIIIb where Y is N(R⁵), O, or S. XIIIb may be deprotected to yield XIIIa.

Formula I compounds when Y is N(R⁵), O, or S are readily synthesized by contacting intermediate XIIIa where Y is N(R⁵), O, or S with a pyrimidine compound XIa where X=halogen or other leaving group such as —OTf, —OTs or -OMs under the conditions of Buchwald-Hartwig coupling, Ullmann-type coupling, or nucleophilic aromatic substitution.

More specific synthetic methods for several Formula I compounds are set forth below. It is understood that if protecting groups are used during the synthesis of intermediates, or if a Formula I compound contains one or more protecting groups, then such protecting groups are removed by methods known in the chemical art. Other transformations, such as the displacement of a halogen, for example, the conversion of R^(4a) or R^(4b)═Cl to R^(4a), or R^(4b)═OMe, SMe, CH═CH₂ or Me, the conversion of W¹, or W² or both groups from O to S; the formation of an oxime by converting W¹, or W² or both groups from an oxo (═O) group to a=NHOR′ group, the conversion of Y from S to S═O or S(═O)₂, and the conversion of an intermediate or a Formula I compound to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt are carried out using conventional methods known in the chemical art.

Method 2:

Formation of IXa or IXb, when n=2 or 3, variable “X” is a halogen or another leaving group such as —OTf, —OTs or -OMs, and variable “V” is O or N can be accomplished by contacting intermediate VIIIb to a 1,2-difunctionalized ethyl intermediate XIVa, or a 1,3-difunctionalized propyl intermediate XIVb under conditions suitable for the synthesis of compounds IXa and IXb respectively. Variables Z¹ and Z² in XIVa and XIVb can be a halogen or other leaving groups such as —OTf, —OTs or -OMs, or OH, NHR¹ or NHP, where P is an appropriate protecting group.

According to this synthetic strategy, intermediate VIIIb where variable “X” is Cl or Br and variable “V” is O is contacted with XIVa where R² and R³ are H, Z¹ is OH and Z² is NH-(4-methoxybenzyl) in acetonitrile in the presence of an amide bond forming reagent such as HATU. The reaction mixture is heated to promote coupling and yields intermediated IXb where n=2 and P is 4-methoxybenzyl.

The inventive Formula I compounds when Y is N(R⁵), O, or S are synthesized by contacting intermediates IXa or IXb (n=2 or 3 and X=halogen or other leaving group such as —OTf, —OTs or -OMs), with pyrimidine XIIa where Y is N(R⁵), O, or S and R⁶-R⁸ are as previously defined, under appropriate conditions followed by deprotection of the resultant Formula I compound if required.

Thus, contacting intermediate IXb where n=2, X is Cl or Br and P is 4-methoxybenzyl with pyrimidine XIIa, where Y is N(R⁵), O, or S, under the conditions suitable for Buchwald-Hartwig coupling, Ullmann-type coupling, or nucleophilic aromatic substitution results in a 4-methoxybenzyl protected Formula I compound. The therapeutically active Formula I compound can readily be obtained by deprotection of the 4-methoxybenzyl group with trifluoroacetic acid.

Alternatively, certain Formula I compounds were synthesized by displacing the leaving group “X” of intermediate IXa with suitable N, O, or S nucleophiles under similar conditions similar to those described in Method 1 to give XIIIa or protected intermediate XIIIb which can be deprotected to yield XIIIa. The leaving group “X” of intermediate IXa can be halogen, —OTf, —OTs or -OMs and subscript n is either 2 or 3.

As described above, the inventive Formula I compounds are readily synthesized by contacting intermediate XIIIa when Y═N(R⁵), O, S and n=2 or 3 with pyrimidine XIa where X=halogen, —OTf, —OTs or -OMs under conditions suitable for Buchwald-Hartwig coupling, Ullmann-type coupling, or nucleophilic aromatic substitution.

The synthesis of some Formula I compounds was carried out by contacting the protected intermediate IXb (n=2 or 3), with an appropriate N, O, or S nucleophile to give XIIIc under similar conditions described above with IXa.

Intermediate XIIIc, thus obtained, was then contacted with pyrimidine XIa where X is either halogen or a leaving group selected from the group consisting of —OTf, —OTs and —OMs under conditions suitable for Buchwald-Hartwig coupling, Ullmann-type coupling, or nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Deprotection by methods known in the chemical art gave the candidate MnK inhibitor Formula I compounds.

Method 3:

Synthesis of Formula VI compounds, where n=1, 2, or 3 was accomplished by contacting intermediates IXa or IXb where variable “X” is a leaving group selected from the group consisting of halogen, —OTf, —OTs and -OMs, and P is a protecting group with a bicyclic intermediate XV in the presence of a homogeneous palladium-phosphine catalyst and a base such as cesium carbonate or sodium t-butoxide using 1,4-dioxane as a solvent. The reaction mixture was heated to promote coupling, followed by deprotection if needed. Illustrative of intermediate XV compounds without limitation are substituted or unsubstituted 6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine, 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine, 9H-purine, 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine).

Alternatively, Formula VI compounds where B is an unsaturated 5-membered ring and n=1, 2 or 3 may be synthesized by contacting intermediates IXa or IXb with a 5-ethynyl-4-amino-pyrimidine intermediate XIIc (where R^(a) is a J group as defined herein) in the presence of a homogeneous palladium-phosphine catalyst and a base such as cesium carbonate or sodium t-butoxide using 1,4-dioxane as solvent for the coupling reaction. The reaction mixture may be heated to promote coupling, followed by deprotection if required. The 5-Ethynyl-4-amino-pyrimidine intermediates XIIc synthesized by a cross-coupling reaction between XIIa where Y═N(R⁵) and R⁸ is a leaving group such as halogen or —OTf and a suitable alkyne using copper and/or homogeneous palladium catalysts.

Method 4:

Compounds according to Formula VIIa or Formula VIIb, where Y═N(R⁵), O, or S and n is 1, 2 or 3 can be synthesized by contacting intermediates IXa or IXb where X is a leaving group such as halogen, —OTf, —OTs or -OMs, and P is a protecting group with the bicyclic intermediate XVIa under the conditions of Buchwald-Hartwig coupling, Ullmann-type coupling, or nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Ring C of bicyclic intermediate is as defined above and variable Y can be —N(R⁵), O, or S. Representative examples of XVIa intermediates include without limitation substituted or unsubstituted 6-amino-purine, 4-amino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, 4-amino-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine, 4-amino-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine, 7-amino-3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine, 4-aminoquinazoline, 4-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine, various 4-amino-pyrido[d]pyrimidines, pyrimido[5,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine, and 7,8-dihydro-6H-pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]oxazin-4-amine).

Bicyclic pyrimidine-type intermediate compounds according to Formula XVIa where Y═N(R⁵), O, or S can be purchased or prepared from XVI by displacing the leaving group X with an appropriate N, O, or S nucleophile using methods known in the chemical art. The protecting group “P” in an intermediate according to XVIb can be removed to give intermediate XVIa.

Alternatively intermediates XIIIa or XIIIb may be contacted with the fused pyrimidine XVI where X=halogen or other leaving group such as —OTf, —OTs or -OMs under conditions suitable for Buchwald-Hartwig or Ullmann-type couplings, or conditions suitable for nucleophilic aromatic substitution followed by deprotection if necessary to give Formula VIIa or Formula VIIb compounds.

Method 5:

Methods for synthesizing a Formula I, when Y is —C(O) and n=1, 2 or 3 comprise contacting intermediate IXa or intermediate IXb (where X is a leaving group, such as halogen, —OTf, —OTs or -OMs, and P is a protecting group) with the intermediate XIId in the presence of a base such as n-butyllithium. The resultant product may be deprotected if required to provide Formula I compounds.

Formation of Formula I, where Y═CH and n=1, 2 or 3 may be carried out by reducing the carbonyl (—C(O)) at “Y” under Wolff-Kishner reduction conditions.

Method 6:

Synthesis of Formula VIIb compounds, when Y═C(O), n=1, 2 or 3 and C is as defined previously is carried out by contacting intermediate IXa or intermediate IXb (where X is a leaving group, such as halogen, —OTf, —OTs or -OMs, and P is a protecting group) with the intermediate XVIc in the presence of a base such as n-butyllithium. The resultant product may be deprotected if required to provide Formula VIIb compounds.

Formation of VIIb, when Y═CH and n=1, 2 or 3 may be accomplished by reducing the carbonyl (—C(O)) at “Y” under Wolff-Kishner reduction conditions.

In certain embodiments a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula I is administered to a mammal in an amount sufficient to inhibit Mnk activity upon administration, and preferably with acceptable toxicity to the same. Mnk activity of Formula I compounds can be determined by one skilled in the art, for example, as described in the Examples below. Appropriate concentrations and dosages can be readily determined by one skilled in the art.

Therapeutic Use

The compounds of the invention, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are administered in a therapeutically effective amount, which will vary depending upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed; the metabolic stability and length of action of the compound; the age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet of the patient; the mode and time of administration; the rate of excretion; the drug combination; the severity of the particular disorder or condition; and the subject undergoing therapy.

“Effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to that amount of a compound of the invention which, when administered to a mammal, preferably a human, is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined below, of a Mnk related condition or disease in the mammal, preferably a human. The amount of a compound of the invention which constitutes a “therapeutically effective amount” will vary depending on the compound, the condition and its severity, the manner of administration, and the age of the mammal to be treated, but can be determined routinely by one of ordinary skill in the art having regard to his own knowledge and to this disclosure.

Compounds of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may also be administered simultaneously with, prior to, or after administration of one or more other therapeutic agents. Such combination therapy includes administration of a single pharmaceutical dosage formulation which contains a compound of the invention and one or more additional active agents, as well as administration of the compound of the invention and each active agent in its own separate pharmaceutical dosage formulation. For example, a compound of the invention and the other active agent can be administered to the patient together in a single oral dosage composition such as a tablet or capsule, or each agent administered in separate oral dosage formulations. Where separate dosage formulations are used, the compounds of the invention and one or more additional active agents can be administered at essentially the same time, i.e., concurrently, or at separately staggered times, i.e., sequentially; combination therapy is understood to include all these regimens.

In certain embodiments, the disclosed compounds are useful for inhibiting the activity of Mnk and/or can be useful in analyzing Mnk signaling activity in model systems and/or for preventing, treating, or ameliorating a symptom associated with a disease, disorder, or pathological condition involving Mnk, preferably one afflicting humans. A compound which inhibits the activity of Mnk will be useful in preventing, treating, ameliorating, or reducing the symptoms or progression of diseases of uncontrolled cell growth, proliferation and/or survival, inappropriate cellular immune responses, or inappropriate cellular inflammatory responses or diseases which are accompanied with uncontrolled cell growth, proliferation and/or survival, inappropriate cellular immune responses, or inappropriate cellular inflammatory responses, particularly in which the uncontrolled cell growth, proliferation and/or survival, inappropriate cellular immune responses, or inappropriate cellular inflammatory responses is mediated by Mnk, such as, for example, haematological tumors, solid tumors, and/or metastases thereof, including leukaemias and myelodysplastic syndrome, malignant lymphomas, for example, B-cell lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma, hairy cell lymphoma, Hodgkins lymphoma, non-Hodgins lymphoma and Burkitts lymphoma, head and neck tumors including brain tumors and brain metastases, tumors of the thorax including non-small cell and small cell lung tumors, gastrointestinal tumors, endocrine tumors, mammary and other gynecological tumors, urological tumors including renal, bladder and prostate tumors, skin tumors, and sarcomas, and/or metastases thereof.

Furthermore, the inventive compounds and their pharmaceutical compositions are candidate theraputics for the prophylaxis and/or therapy of cytokine related diseases, such as inflammatory diseases, allergies, or other conditions associated with proinflammatory cytokines. Exemplary inflammatory diseases include without limitation, chronic or acute inflammation, inflammation of the joints such as chronic inflammatory arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Reiter's syndrome, rheumatoid traumatic arthritis, rubella arthritis, acute synovitis and gouty arthritis; inflammatory skin diseases such as sunburn, psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, acute or chronic graft formation, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria and scleroderma; inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract such as inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease and related conditions, ulcerative colitis, colitis, and diverticulitis; nephritis, urethritis, salpingitis, oophoritis, endomyometritis, spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus and related disorders, multiple sclerosis, asthma, meningitis, myelitis, encephalomyelitis, encephalitis, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), inflammatory lung disease and adult respiratory distress syndrome, and allergic rhinitis; endocarditis, osteomyelitis, rheumatic fever, rheumatic pericarditis, rheumatic endocarditis, rheumatic myocarditis, rheumatic mitral valve disease, rheumatic aortic valve disease, prostatitis, prostatocystitis, spondoarthropathies ankylosing spondylitis, synovitis, tenosynovotis, myositis, pharyngitis, polymyalgia rheumatica, shoulder tendonitis or bursitis, gout, pseudo gout, vasculitides, inflammatory diseases of the thyroid selected from the group consisting of granulomatous thyroiditis, lymphocytic thyroiditis, invasive fibrous thyroiditis, acute thyroiditis; Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Kawasaki's disease, Raynaud's phenomenon, Sjogren's syndrome, neuroinflammatory disease, sepsis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, iridocyclitis, optic neuritis, otitis, lymphoadenitis, nasopaharingitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, epiglottitis, bronchitis, pneumonitis, stomatitis, gingivitis. oesophagitis, gastritis, peritonitis, hepatitis, cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, glomerulonephritis, goodpasture's disease, crescentic glomerulonephritis, pancreatitis, endomyometritis, myometritis, metritis, cervicitis, endocervicitis, exocervicitis, parametritis, tuberculosis, vaginitis, vulvitis, silicosis, sarcoidosis, pneumoconiosis, pyresis, inflammatory polyarthropathies, psoriatric arthropathies, intestinal fibrosis, bronchiectasis and enteropathic arthropathies.

Although inflammation is the unifying pathogenic process of these diseases, current therapies only treat the symptoms of the disease and not the underlying cause of inflammation. The compositions of the present invention are useful for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of inflammatory diseases and related complications and disorders.

Accordingly, certain embodiments are directed to a method for treating a Mnk dependent condition in a mammal in need thereof, the method comprising administering an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition as described above (i.e., a pharmaceutical composition comprising any one or more compounds of Formula I) to a mammal.

“Treating” or “treatment” as used herein covers the treatment of the disease or condition of interest in a mammal, preferably a human, having the disease or condition of interest, and includes:

-   -   (i) preventing the disease or condition from occurring in a         mammal, in particular, when such mammal is predisposed to the         condition but has not yet been diagnosed as having it;     -   (ii) inhibiting the disease or condition, i.e., arresting its         development;     -   (iii) relieving the disease or condition, i.e., causing         regression of the disease or condition; or     -   (iv) relieving the symptoms resulting from the disease or         condition, i.e., relieving pain without addressing the         underlying disease or condition. As used herein, the terms         “disease” and “condition” may be used interchangeably or may be         different in that the particular malady or condition may not         have a known causative agent (so that etiology has not yet been         worked out) and it is therefore not yet recognized as a disease         but only as an undesirable condition or syndrome, wherein a more         or less specific set of symptoms have been identified by         clinicians.

As described above deregulation of protein synthesis is a common event in human cancers. A key regulator of translational control is eIF4E whose activity is a key determinant of tumorigenicity. Because activation of eIF4E involves phosphorylation of a key serine (Ser209) specifically by MAP kinase interacting kinases (Mnk), inhibitors of Mnk are suitable candidate therapeutics for treating cell proliferative disorders such as cancer.

According to such a method, a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound according to Formula I or a stereoisomer, tautomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be administered to a subject who has been diagnosed with a cell proliferative disease, such as a cancer. Alternatively, a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound according to Formula I or a stereoisomer, tautomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be administered to a subject who has been diagnosed with cancer.

In certain embodiments, the compounds in accordance with the invention are administered to a subject with cancer in conjunction with other conventional cancer therapies such as radiation treatment or surgery.

In one embodiment, a compound or composition in accordance with the invention is particularly useful for treating or preventing a disease selected from the group consisting of chronic or acute inflammation, chronic inflammatory arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, COPD, inflammatory bowel disease, septic shock, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis and asthma.

In a further aspect of the invention, the inventive compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable formulations of the inventive compounds are provided as inhibitors of Mnk activity. Such inhibition is achieved by contacting a cell expressing Mnk with a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation, to lower or inhibit Mnk activity, to provide therapeutic efficacy for a Mnk dependent condition in a mammal in need thereof.

Therapeutically effective dosages of a compound according to Formula I or a composition of a Formula I compound will generally range from about 1 to 2000 mg/day, from about 10 to about 1000 mg/day, from about 10 to about 500 mg/day, from about 10 to about 250 mg/day, from about 10 to about 100 mg/day, or from about 10 to about 50 mg/day. The therapeutically effective dosages may be administered in one or multiple doses. It will be appreciated, however, that specific doses of the compounds of the invention for any particular patient will depend on a variety of factors such as age, sex, body weight, general health condition, diet, individual response of the patient to be treated, time of administration, severity of the disease to be treated, the activity of particular compound applied, dosage form, mode of application and concomitant medication. The therapeutically effective amount for a given situation will readily be determined by routine experimentation and is within the skills and judgment of the ordinary clinician or physician. In any case the compound or composition will be administered at dosages and in a manner which allows a therapeutically effective amount to be delivered based upon patient's unique condition.

The dried material weighted 1.42 kg, (98% yield) and had a purity of 97.5%. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.85 (brs, 1H), 10.07 (brs, 1H), 9.09 (s, 1H), 8.53 (s, 1H), 8.46 (s, 1H), 7.85 (s, 1H), 3.95-3.05 (m, 2H), 2.45 (s, 3H), 1.95-2.05 (m, 1H), 1.80-1.60 (m, 5H), 1.44 (d, J=24 Hz, 2H), 1.25-1.15 (m, 1H), 0.89-0.80 (m, 4H).

D. Synthesis of 6′-((6-aminopyrimidin-4-yl)amino)-8′-methyl-2′H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine]-1′,5′-dione (107):

N-(6-((8′-methyl-1′,5′-dioxo-1′,5′-dihydro-2′H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin]-6′-yl)amino)pyrimidin-4-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide (cpd. 4), (1.42 kg); tetrahydrofuran (5.7 L); and EtOH (5.7 L) were added to a 50-L reactor and agitated at 100 RPM. The batch temperature was adjusted to 20° C. To a 45-L carboy was added water (5.7 L, DI) and KOH (1.17 kg) and the contents of the carboy were agitated until a solution formed. The KOH solution was then added to the 50-L reactor followed by addition of ethylenediamine (2.83 L). The batch temperature increased to 33° C. upon addition of ethylenediamine and was readjusted to 20° C. After stirring for 16 h HPLC analysis indicated 18.6% of unreacted compound (4) remained. A solution of KOH (1.17 kg) and water (5.7 L), therefore, was added to the reactor and stirring continued at 20° C. for an additional 16 h. Following stirring, HPLC analysis indicated 1.3% of unreacted compound (4). The pH of the batch was adjusted to 2 by the addition of concentrated HCl (11.8 kg), over a time period of 2.5 h, and a solid begins to form when the batch (reaction mixture) is at a pH of 12.7. The batch temperature was adjusted to 20° C. and the mixture was agitated for 10 minutes following which the batch containing solid material was filtered through a Nutsche filter (18″).

The reactor was then rinsed with water (14.15 L, DI) and the aqueous rinse was transferred to the filter while manually suspending the solid in the wash. A second rinse was performed using water (14.15 L, DI) and the rinse was transferred again to the filter while manually suspending the solid in the wash. Sodium bicarbonate (1.3 kg) and water (26.0 L, DI) were then added to the rinsed 50-L reactor and the filter cake was slowly introduced into the reactor over a time period of about 30 min to avoid excess gas liberation. The resulting suspension was agitated for 2 h followed by filtration through a Nutsche filter (18″). The filter cake was washed with water (15.0 L) and allowed to condition overnight. The filter cake was once again suspended in an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, agitated for 2 h and filtered through a Nutsche filter (18″). Following washing with water, the filter cake was allowed to condition overnight and then transferred to drying trays and dried under vacuum at 45° C. The dried batch weighed 1.05 kg, (80% yield) and had a purity of 98.5%. IC analysis showed 0.7% chloride. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.20 (s, 1H), 9.68 (s, 1H), 8.47 (s, 1H), 8.09 (s, 1H), 7.97 (brs, 2H), 6.42 (s, 1H), 3.00-2.90 (m, 2H), 2.43 (s, 3H), 1.80-1.60 (m, 5H), 1.5 (d, J=24 Hz, 2H), 1.25-1.12 (m, 1H).

E. Synthesis of 6′-((6-aminopyrimidin-4-yl)amino)-8′-methyl-2′H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine]-1′,5′-dione hydrochloride (107 HCl):

6′-((6-aminopyrimidin-4-yl)amino)-8′-methyl-2′H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,3′-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine]-1′,5′-dione ((107), (0.99 kg)) was added to a 50-L vessel. To a separate 45-L carboy were added tetrahydrofuran (8.22 L), ethanol (8.22 L), and water (8.22 L, DI). This solution was then transferred to the 50-L vessel containing compound 9107) and the temperature of the reaction mixture was adjusted to 5° C. To the cold reaction mixture was added KOH (0.45 kg) and the entire mixture was agitated until a solution formed. The solution was then transferred to the 45-L carboy and then passed, under vacuum, through a polish filter (0.3u Hepa Cap polish filter) back to the 50-L vessel.

The temperature of the solution (batch) was adjusted to 5° C. and the pH was adjusted to pH 1 by the addition of concentrated HCl (37%, 1.17 L). The temperature of the acidic batch was adjusted to 20° C. following which the batch was agitated for 16 h. Seed crystals (9.2 g) were added to the batch and the agitation was continued for 16 h. After agitation, the batch was filtered through a Nutsche filter (18″) and the reactor rinsed once with the mother liquor. The rinse was added to the filter cake, followed rinsing of the filter cake with a solution of THF, ethanol and water (1:1:1). After conditioning the filter cake overnight, it was transferred to drying trays and dried under vacuum at 45° C. The dried batch weighed 1.12 kg, 102% yield, with 4.0% water (KF oven). 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.20 (s, 1H), 9.68 (s, 1H), 8.47 (s, 1H), 8.09 (s, 1H), 7.97 (brs, 2H), 6.42 (s, 1H), 3.00-2.90 (m, 2H), 2.43 (s, 3H), 1.80-1.60 (m, 5H), 1.5 (d, J=24 Hz, 2H), 1.25-1.12 (m, 1H).

Biological Studies Example 249: Mnk Biochemical Enzymatic Assay

Compounds are screened for Mnk inhibition using the ADP-Glo kinase assay kit (Promega, catalogue No. V9101). All kinase reactions are performed in Reaction Buffer E (15 mM HEPES pH7.4, 20 mM NaCl, 1 mM EGTA, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.1 mg/ml BGG, and 0.02% Tween-20). Final Mnk1 reactions contained 10 nM recombinant Mnk1 (Life Technologies, PR9138A), 100 μM Mnk substrate peptide Ac-TATKSGSTTKNR-NH2 (American Peptide Company), 300 μM ATP, and varying concentrations of the inhibitory compound of interest. Final Mnk2 reactions contained 3 nM recombinant Mnk2 (Life Technologies, PV5607), 50 μM Mnk substrate peptide Ac-TATKSGSTTKNR-NH2 (American Peptide Company), 10 μM ATP, and varying concentrations of the inhibitory compound of interest. Final DMSO concentration in each reaction is 1%.

Kinase reactions are carried out in 96-well half-area white flat-bottom polystyrene plates in a final volume of 25 al. Mnk1/2 enzymes are pre-incubated with compound and peptide substrate for 5 minutes prior to the addition of ATP. After the addition of ATP, kinase reactions are incubated at room temperature for 40 minutes. Reactions are subsequently stopped by the addition of 25 al of ADP-Glo Reagent and incubating for an additional 40 minutes. The final luminescent signal used for kinase activity readout is produced by the addition of 45 al of Kinase Detection Reagent (ADP-Glo kit, Promega) and incubating for 40 minutes. The luminescent signal is detected using a Victor 2 multilabel counter (Perkin Elmer) and the concentration of compound necessary to achieve inhibition of enzyme activity by 50% (IC₅₀) is calculated using signals from an 8-point compound dilution series.

The results of these assays are set forth in Table 1 below. To this end, IC₅₀ values of less than 0.01 μM are labelled as “+++”, from 0.01 to 0.1 μM are labelled as “++”, and greater than 0.1 to 10.0 μM are labelled as “+” (NA means “not available”).

Example 250: peIF4E Signaling Cellular Assay

Phosphorylated eIF4E is assayed using the CisBio peIF4E HTRF® assay kit (CisBio, catalogue No. 64EF4PEG). Cells are plated in 96-well tissue-culture treated plate in appropriate growth medium (90 L). Compounds (10×) are diluted using 3-fold serial dilutions in cell culture medium and added to cells. Plates are incubated for 2 hrs at 37° C. The cell supernatant is carefully removed either by aspirating supernatant or by flicking the plate. Immediately 50 μL of supplemented lysis buffer (IX) is added and incubated for at least 30 minutes at room temperature under shaking. After homogenization by pipeting up and down, 16 μL of cell lysate is transferred from the 96-well cell-culture plate to a 384-well small volume white plate. 4 μL of premixed antibody solutions (vol/vol) is prepared in the detection buffer and added. The plate is covered with a plate sealer and incubated overnight at room temperature. The fluorescence emissions at two different wavelengths are read (665 nm and 620 nm) on a Wallac Victor2. Emission ratios are converted into percent inhibitions and imported into GraphPad Prism software. The concentration of compound necessary to achieve inhibition of enzyme activity by 50% (IC₅₀) is calculated using concentrations ranging from 20 μM to 0.1 nM (12-point curve). IC₅₀ values are determined using a nonlinear regression model available in GraphPad Prism 5.

The results of these assays are set forth in Table 2 below. To this end, IC₅₀ values of less than 0.05 μM are labelled as “+++”, from 0.05 to 1.0 M are labelled as “++”, greater than 1.0 to 100 μM are labelled as “+”, and NA means “not available”.

Example 251: Pharmacokinetic Studies

Groups of Balb/c mice or Sprague-Dawley rats (n>3 per dose group) are administered single doses of test compound. Compounds are formulated either as solutions in 10% N-methylpyrrolidone, 90% polyethyleneglycol 400 or as suspensions in 0.5% methylcellulose in water for oral gavage administration at a nominal dose level of 10 mg/kg. Compounds are formulated in 10% dimethylisosorbide, 15% ethanol, 35% propylene glycol, and 40% saline (or 40% D5W) for intravenous administration at a nominal dose level of 1 mg/kg. For intravenously dosed animals, blood samples are collected at 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 h post dose. For orally dosed animals, blood samples are collected at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 h post dose. Blood samples are collected from mice either serially via submandibular vein (approximately 0.1 mL each) or terminally via cardiac puncture (approximately 0.5 mL each). Blood samples are collected serially from rats via jugular vein catheter (approximately 0.2 mL each). Each blood sample is collected into a tube that is chilled and contains potassium EDTA as the anticoagulant. Plasma is separated and stored at approximately −80 C until analysis. Following protein precipitation with acetonitrile containing an internal standard, plasma samples are analyzed using a liquid chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) method to determine plasma concentrations. Plasma concentration versus time data are subjected to noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis using Phoenix™ Winnonlin® (Certara LP) to determine pharmacokinetic parameters, including Area Under the Curve (AUC), Clearance (Cl), Volume of Distribution at Steady-State (Vss), and terminal half-life (T1/2). Data from orally and intravenously dose are highlighted in Tables 3 and 4, respectively.
